Coca Cola has introduced what some are calling the "beverage dispenser of the future".According to an article on QSRmagazine.com:“We believe this will do for beverages what mp3 did for music,” says Ray Crockett, director of communications for Coca-Cola North America.

Taipei's Yong An Market Metro Station McDonald's
Posted on 06:49 by Unknown
Taipei has a pretty good Metro (subway) system. Most times, when you get off a train, there is a McDonald's nearby. The Yong An Metro Station is the perfect example. As you emerge, the McDonald's is right across the street - perfect.This store is a four-story facility with steep, daunting stairs. The McChronicles expected the top level to be pretty empty (assuming that few would dare to tackle all three sets of stairs). Wrong. Every floor was filled...
Taiwan's Chung Ho City (Sheng Nan Rd.) McDonald's
Posted on 03:47 by Unknown
The McChronicles dropped in to Taiwan's Chung Ho City (near Taipei) and headed for Sheng Nan Road. That's where this McDonald's is located.This store is interesting since it combines several funky features all into one restaurant. First, it is a McCafe and a regular store all in one. Next, instead of a drive-thru it offers a walk-up. But it's not an ordinary walk-up, it's sort of a "scooter-up" (you don't actually drive thru in your scooter, you...

McDonald's Girl Delivers
Posted on 22:19 by Unknown
It may be news to some (not to regular readers of The McChronicles) that McDonald's delivers. Maybe not in your town, but there are places in this world where your meal can be brought right to your home, office, party, event, or ... ?We've explored the concept of McDelivery before. But, today, while sitting in a Shanghai, China McDonald's, after observing several delivery people returning to the roost, grabbing their next order, and heading...

McDonald's Changning Road, Shanghai, China
Posted on 21:34 by Unknown
The McDonald's on Shanghai's Changning Road (corner with Dingxi Lu) is interesting to the McChronicles. Is it huge? No.Beautiful? No.Super clean? NoDoes it provide awesome service? No.So, what is it that piques our interest? Surprisingly, it is the total "averageness" (if there is such a word).The Changning Road store is a place that hosts international business travelers, tourists, school children, families, and even the occasional gaggle of retired...

Suzhou China's Wei Ting McDonald's
Posted on 00:23 by Unknown
McDonald's rolled into China years ago by landing in the big cities. Eventually, McDonald's was known to exist only in large urban centers. Sensible after all since this is where the people are and the money is.Fast-forward to today, where we now encounter McDonald's OUTSIDE of major cities. The McChronicles just visited one such restaurant in the townwhip of Wei Ting, outside of Suzhou, in China. Located in the Qing Jian Hu Commercial Plaza, this...
McDonald's Drive-Thru: First-Time Experience in China
Posted on 00:01 by Unknown
Remember your very FIRST McDonald's drive-thru moment? Of course you don't ... that is unless it just happened. This exact experience is occurring for thousands of people every day in China.As reported by The McChronicles, McDonald’s has been opening drive-thrus in China as the population moves up to car ownership.The McChronicles was fortunate to accompany a college-educated, business professional on her very first drive-thru (McDonald's or otherwise)...
